I didn't think you were calling me a moron, I was just saying that I am not stupid so every possible common sense fix I have already tried.
On another note, I used Bing to search for this problem and ended up with another half dozen forums where people are stuck on the same part as well.
What is almost as bad as not being able to complete the campain because of this, is that even on multiple EA forums I have not recieved a single reply from a dev or a GM or whatever. It's like now that they took my money they don't even want to address a game breaking issue.
Last time I will pay for an EA game. My friend got the game off the internet, and it looks like the people that cracked the game had the same issue and fixed the bug so it works. He told me he passed that level without a hitch. Either the hackers are smarter than the devs at EA, or it might be a bug related to certain graphics/system configurations, although I have seen forums where ATI card users are stuck too.
